PAPER-BOARD BOX.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 14, 1915. Serial 1W0.'21,205.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE B; STREIT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented acertain new and useful Tmprovement in Paper-Board Boxes, and declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form apart of this specification.

' This inventlon relates to paper-board boxes and comprises an improvedand cheaper display box. f

The features of this invention are the simplicity of the constructionand the provision of a device for guiding the tray and at the same, timepreventing its tipping, which will not interfere with the use of atelescopin cover.

In the drawings,Figure 1 is a perspective of one form of my invention,Fig. 2

is a cross section of the same box showing the telescoping cover inplace. Fig. 3 is a detail of the guiding clip. Fig. i is a detail inperspective of the two partitions used in the form shown in Fig. 1showing how they join. Fig. 5 ,is a perspective of a paper-boardboxembodyin a modified form of my invention. Fig. 6 1s a longitudinalsection of the same.

The box comprises a fixed or basic boxlike section a. Either on theinside (form shown in Fig. 1) or on the outside (form shown in Fig; 5)are glued orotherwise fastened at the two ends, the walls 6. Portions ofthese walls b project above the end walls of the box-like section a. Theprojecting portions serve to support and guide the movable tray 0. Atone side of the ends of the walls I) (in the rear as shown in thedrawings) are located guiding clips d which are here shown in the formof arrow heads having at their bases prongs e which may be caused toengage in the end walls to secure the clips in place. The arrow portionof the clip is bent over into the movable tray c. Underneath the guidingclips (Z and extending from end to end in the lower box-like section Ipreferably place a rectangular paper-board tube f which acts inconjunction with the clips 03 to prevent the tray c from tipping up withrespect to the boxlike fixed section a when the tray has been drawn outto extreme position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5. I. use a broad-headedclip to afford a wide member to engage with the side wall of the movabletray and which In conjunction with the paper tube or any other supportprevents-the tipping up of the movable tray with respect to the fixedbox-like section when the tray is drawn out to extreme pos1t1on.'

When the walls I) are placed on the inside of'the box-like section w itis advisable to provlde' an arrangement of partitions g which not onlyact as partitions ordinarily do, but engaging with the bottom of themovable tray, prevent that from "being tipped with respect to the lowerfixed section a. The upper edges of the ends of the box-like section aform a shoulder i upon which may rest the cover i which forms atelescoping, cover-in which the depending walls of the cover come flushwith the walls of the box. This form'of guiding clip is peculiarlyadapted for use with a cover as it is flat and so embedded in the wallsI) that it presents scarcely any projection to interfere with theoperation of the cover. With the walls I) secured to the outside of thebox-like portion a, theshoulders h-afl'ord a guide for the bottom of themovable tray 0 and no partitionis necessary as in the form shown inFig. 1. However, the cover i will not fit to the box-likeportion so thatthe clip secured to each projecting end wall portion, and a movable traysecured to the above the ends of: the box-like portion, a

projecting end wall portions by the inside I legs of the clips beingbent over inside of the end walls of the said movable tray.

'2. The combinationof a box-like section having projecting wall portionsprojecting above the ends of the box-like portion, a clip secured toeach projecting end wall portion, a movable tray secured to theprojecting end wall portions by the inside legs of the clips being bentover inside of the end paper tube secured in the boxdike por ion at oneside, clips secured to the pnojecting end wall portions above the saidpaper-board tube, and a movable tray secured to the box- .like sectionby the inside legs of the clips being bent over inside of the end wallsof the said tray.

4. The combination of a box-like section provided with projecting endWalls, a rectangular paper tube secured in one side of the box-llkeportion, clips secured to the projecting end wall portions above the rectangular paper-board tube, a movable tray secured to the box-likeportion by the said clips having their legs bent over on the inside ofthe end Walls of the said tray, and guiding means under the movabletray.

' 5. The combination of a box-like section, a Wall secured to each endof thebox-like section, means at one side of the box-like section forsupporting a member thereabove, a slidable tray, guiding means below thetray, and clips secured to the sides of the wall members secured to thebox-likesection ends and above the supporting means, the said clip endsbeing bent over to engage With the insides of the end Walls of the tray.

In testimony whereof, I sign this application in the presence of awitness.
